ONBV Biblica Open New Living Bible (Nueva Biblia Viva 2008)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Masquil de Asaf. Oh Dios, ¿por qué nos has desechado para siempre? ¿Por qué arde tu ira contra nosotros, ovejas de tu prado?
1 A contemplation by Asaph. God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?
2 Acuérdate del pueblo que adquiriste desde tiempos antiguos, de la tribu que redimiste para que fuera tu posesión. Acuérdate de este monte Sion, que es donde tú habitas.
2 Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance: Mount Zion, in which you have lived.
3 Marcha por entre las espantosas ruinas de la ciudad, y contempla lo que ha hecho el enemigo a tu santuario.
3 Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
4 Allí lanzaron su grito de batalla y plantaron sus banderas en señal de victoria.
4 Your adversaries have roared in the middle of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.
5 Despedazaron la entrada como si fueran leñadores en un bosque.
5 They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.
6 Destrozaron los adornos de madera con sus hachas y martillos.
6 Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.
7 Prendieron fuego al santuario y lo arrasaron; insultaron escandalosamente el lugar que lleva tu nombre.
7 They have burned your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.
8 «Destruyamos todo», dijeron, y recorrieron todo el país quemando los sitios en donde te adoramos.
8 They said in their heart, “We will crush them completely.” They have burned up all the places in the land where God was worshiped.
9 No quedan señales de que tú nos salvarás. Ya no hay profetas. ¿Y quién puede decir cuándo terminará todo esto?
9 We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there among us anyone who knows how long.
10 ¿Hasta cuándo, oh Dios, permitirás que tus enemigos se burlen de ti? ¿Les permitirás que insulten tu nombre por siempre?
10 How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
11 ¿Por qué detienes tu poderosa mano derecha? Dales con tu puño el golpe definitivo.
11 Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it from your chest and consume them!
12 Desde los tiempos pasados, oh Dios, tú eres mi rey; tú traes salvación sobre la tierra.
12 Yet God is my King of old, working salvation throughout the earth.
13 Con tu fuerza dividiste el Mar Rojo; ¡aplastaste las cabezas del dios marino! ¡Lo entregaste como alimento a las tribus del desierto!
13 You divided the sea by your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
14 Not in this translation
14 You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people and desert creatures.
15 Tú hiciste que brotaran fuentes y arroyos; secaste ríos de inagotables corrientes.
15 You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers.
16 Por igual te pertenecen el día y la noche; tú hiciste la luz de las estrellas y el sol.
16 The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.
17 La naturaleza entera está en tus manos; tú haces también el verano y el invierno.
17 You have set all the boundaries of the earth. You have made summer and winter.
18 Recuerda, Señor, que tu enemigo se burla, y que un pueblo insensato ofende tu nombre.
18 Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, Yahweh. Foolish people have blasphemed your name.
19 Oh, Señor, ¡sálvame! Protege de los gavilanes a tu tórtola. Salva de estas bestias a tu pueblo amado.
19 Don’t deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts. Don’t forget the life of your poor forever.
20 ¡Acuérdate de tu promesa! La tierra está llena de oscuridad y de hombres crueles.
20 Honor your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.
21 Oh, Señor, no dejes que tu pisoteado pueblo sea continuamente injuriado. Da motivo para que estos pobres y menesterosos alaben tu nombre.
21 Don’t let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise your name.
22 Álzate, oh Dios, y plantea tu causa delante de tus enemigos. Recuerda los insultos que estos rebeldes han lanzado contra ti el día entero.
22 Arise, God! Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day.
23 No disimules las maldiciones de estos enemigos tuyos; ellas se vuelven cada vez más clamorosas.
23 Don’t forget the voice of your adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LXXIII)

    This Psalm hath an inscription, that is, a title, "There have failed the hymns of David, the son of Jesse. A Psalm of Asaph himself." So many Psalms we have on the titles whereof is written the name David, nowhere there is added, "son of Jesse," except in this alone.

  2. Quotes verse 74:12 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XVII, Chapter 4)

    In the same way we may suitably understand what we read in the psalm, "But God, our King before the worlds, hath wrought salvation in the midst of the earth;" so that the Lord Jesus may be understood to be our God who is before the worlds, because by Him the worlds were made, working our salvation in the midst …

  3. Quotes verse 74:12 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XIII)

    It is not my word, but it is a prophet who hath said, Thou hast wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
